How to format your references using the FEMS Yeast Research citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for FEMS Yeast Research. For a complete guide how to prepare your manuscript refer to the journal's instructions to authors.

Using reference management software

Typically you don't format your citations and bibliography by hand. The easiest way is to use a reference manager:

Paperpile	The citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNote	Download the output style file
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and others	The style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeX	BibTeX syles are usually part of a LaTeX template. Check the instructions to authors if the publisher offers a LaTeX template for this journal.

Journal articles

Those examples are references to articles in scholarly journals and how they are supposed to appear in your bibliography.

Not all journals organize their published articles in volumes and issues, so these fields are optional. Some electronic journals do not provide a page range, but instead list an article identifier. In a case like this it's safe to use the article identifier instead of the page range.

A journal article with 1 author

Lindenberger U. Human cognitive aging: corriger la fortune? Science 2014;346:572–8.

A journal article with 2 authors

Franchi L, Núñez G. Immunology. Orchestrating inflammasomes. Science 2012;337:1299–300.

A journal article with 3 authors

Singh PK, Hopwood J, Sonkusale S. Metamaterials for remote generation of spatially controllable two dimensional array of microplasma. Sci Rep 2014;4:5964.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Reports

This example shows the general structure used for government reports, technical reports, and scientific reports. If you can't locate the report number then it might be better to cite the report as a book. For reports it is usually not individual people that are credited as authors, but a governmental department or agency like "U. S. Food and Drug Administration" or "National Cancer Institute".

Government report

Government Accountability Office. DOD’s Data Banks on Contractors’ Independent Research and Development Programs. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1973.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

Jang SH. Interpretation of extended techniques in unaccompanied flute works by East-Asian composers: Isang Yun, Toru Takemitsu, and Kazuo Fukushima. 2010.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by name and year in parentheses:

This sentence cites one reference (Lindenberger 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Franchi and Núñez 2012; Lindenberger 2014).

Here are examples of in-text citations with multiple authors:

Two authors: (Franchi and Núñez 2012)
Three authors: (Singh, Hopwood and Sonkusale 2014)
